    You forgot to list Unaware, Fur Coat, Multiscale, Battle Armor, Soundproof, Water Absorb, Lightning Rod, Storm Drain, Marvel Scale, Thick Fat, Sturdy, Filter, Solid Rock, basically any ability that prevents or otherwise alters damage done to the opponent except for Intimidate.

     

    And yes that includes Wonder Guard

    Mega Absol can't switch in to it because Magic Coat doesn't activate until AFTER it Mega Evolves.

     

    Espeon may block the strat but its still horribly weak to Foul Play, even with its attack stat at the minimum possible value.

     

    And honestly, who's going to run Own Tempo specifically for SwagKey? You may as well argue for MegaLucario's unbanning due to Moltres...

    Maybe some people go afk without warning and come back to find themselves kicked, therefore unable to catch up on the conversation without asking somebody else what happened. Just a thought.

     

    This. Happens way too frequently on my end, since I'm a multitasking kind of guy. 20 minutes, maybe even 15, would be fair enough but 10 is just WAY too short.

    Not to mention it rarely ever works. You have to be absolutely dead sure a person's going to use a non-damaging move and doesn't have infiltrator. Anything else will gnaw through Gengar's substitute.

     

    Or it gnaws regular Gengar's substitute and then he hits back with a 100% accurate Disable, but that's not what Mega Gengar is used for...

    Diancie looks really cute.

     

    I'm now the proud owner of a Flygon and a Hydreigon. I need to come up with some good 6v6 teams to take advantage of my new mons.

    Or Rotom-Heat, for that matter, especially if paired with MegaVenusaur.

    Well I to be honest I never considered Celebi as a powerful pokemon to begin with plus due to its type (grass/psychic) it has loads of weaknesses : Fire, Ice, poison, Dark, Flying, Ghost,  Bug (4x damage). So its a very fragile pokemon in mine point of veiw. =P

     

     

    Celebi's competitive history according to Smogon:

     

    Gen II: Uber

    Celebi has great stats, and resistances to three of the most popular attack types in the game is never bad (Water / Electric / Ground). One thing Celebi doesn't get its due credit for is being able to stall out the average Snorlax and force it to Rest without taking much damage thanks to Leech Seed. It also learns Heal Bell, which is one of the most valuable moves for a stall team, and is still useful for others.

     

    Gen III: OU

    Celebi is mainly used as a stalling machine, but Perish Song variants can also break stall when used alongside Mean Look + Baton Pass Umbreon. Additionally, Celebi can utilize Baton Pass itself and contribute to a Baton Pass chain with Calm Mind, Swords Dance, and high HP Substitutes, and do serious damage to Skarmory with Calm Mind-boosted STAB Psychic. Blissey can't stop special attacking sets either, thanks to Psychic's chance of a Special Defense drop, Celebi's 101 HP Substitutes, its ability to stay healthy with Recover and Natural Cure, as well as its access to Leech Seed. Celebi can take on Electric-types to a great extent as it resists their STAB, especially as most carry Hidden Power Grass for Swampert and hence lack Hidden Power Ice.

    In fact, Celebi's power is such that many respected battlers have attempted to get it banned multiple times; Celebi was even banned from the Smogon Tour for a while.

     

    Gen IV: OU

    Celebi was highly effective in the ADV era, but the introduction of several new threats have dealt it a severe blow. Celebi's whopping seven weaknesses greatly limit it as a defensive Pokemon, as they leave it open to the likes of Scizor, Tyranitar, Heatran, and Rotom-A; it is also hampered by Trick. Nevertheless, Celebi itself has acquired many new moves it can use to defend itself. Thunder Wave, Leaf Storm, U-turn, Grass Knot, and even Trick help to threaten dangerous enemies. Finally, Celebi boasts resistances to six types, which it can use to easily switch in and support its team.

     

    Gen V: OU

    As with most legendary Pokemon, Celebi is blessed with great base stats all around. It also has a good and synergetic typing, an awesome ability that lets it act as a status absorber, and a phenomenal movepool. These traits allow Celebi to play many roles, depending on your team's needs. It can be a sturdy special wall that handles many prominent threats, such as Keldeo, Thundurus-T, Sheer Force Landorus, and Breloom, with a large repertoire of utility moves, consisting of Stealth Rock, U-turn, Perish Song, Thunder Wave, Heal Bell, and Baton Pass. Or it can take the offensive route and utilize its good coverage, bulk, and resistances to set up with Nasty Plot, making it quite hard to wall. It can even use a Choice Scarf set to revenge kill troublesome threats, a Baton Pass set to assist your sweepers, or a tank set to combine the offensive and defensive roles.

    However, the list of its flaws is as big as the list of its advantages. Its typing leaves it with a whopping seven weaknesses, one of them being a quadruple weakness to Bug moves. This means that it is prone to both Pursuit trapping and to U-turn, which is never a good thing. As with most Grass-types, it struggles quite a bit against sun teams, but don't let its flaws disappoint you. With the right teammates Celebi can really shine, and prevent those pesky rain teams that are everywhere from overwhelming you.

     

    Gen VI: UU

    • Good bulk
    • Good ability in natural cure
    • Acess to heal bell and other supporting moves
    • Instant recovery
    • Weakness to common threats such as t-tar sucks
    • Weakness to common new threats such as talonflame and greninja sucks
    • decent defensive typing with ressistances to grass water fighting and ground and weaknesses to fire bug dark and ice
    • pursuit weak

    As far as I can tell, not much was changed from ikaruga's Shimo aside from the palette and the small portrait, which now looks like garbage due to incorrect paletting.

    So yeah, its just a palette swap of Shimo. And a bad one to boot, especially when her hair is all one solid color.

    He's talking about the website nerd

     

     

    Edit: I'm starting to wonder why people hate Smogon but not Serebii. What, because their favorite Pokemon are UU or lower. Okay, that is kind of annoying seeing a lot of my favorite Pokemon being called UU or even NU while seeing Pokemon I strongly dislike (Like Garchomp *Shot*) be called Uber.

     

    Was addressing his bold point, by saying that Celebi has been a great OU Pokemon until Gen 6. Also, Garchomp hasn't been uber ever since Gen 4 and early Gen 5 and the latter only because Sand Veil wasn't banned by Smogon yet. Dunno how the Sand Veil ban holds now that Weather abilities have been nerfed, but I'd imagine thats still the case.

     

    EDIT: If its any recourse for Celebi fans, even though its UU, it still ranks at C+ in Smogon's OU viability ranking, so its still useable. Just for reference, other UU, RU, and NU Pokemon in the OU viability rankings include:

     

    • A+: Speed Deoxys, Manaphy, Black Kyurem
    • A: Latias: Defense Deoxys, Keldeo
    • B+: Politoed, Zapdos, Mega Medicham
    • B: Mew, Gardevoir, Mega Gardevoir, Slowbro, Krookodile, Mega Heracross, Therian Tornadus, Mega Manectric
    • B-: Zygarde, Jellicent, Roserade, Entei, Mega Absol, Chesnaught, Staraptor, Galvantula, Diggersby, Heat Rotom,
    • C+: Mega Aerodactyl, Darmanitan, Ninetails, Celebi, Tentacruel, Therian Thundurus, Kyurem, Chandelure, Gourgeist (Super & Small), Vaporeon, Dugtrio, Crawdaunt, Mega Abomasnow, Tangrowth, Magnezone, Kingdra, Wobbuffet
    • C: Moltres, Quagsire, Noivern, Kabutops, Ditto, Empoleon, Porygon2, Cofagrigus
    • C-: Crobat, Ludicolo
